Early start this morning. Left the hotel at 6:30 to make sure we were at Gare St-Jean in time for the 7:24 train. Arrived in Pauillac around 8:30, and rented some bikes at a Avia gas station. Went south on the D2 to see all the various chateaus. Saw the very famous Chateau Pichon Longueville (pictures to come later), and many others. Went as far south as Macau en Medoc, ate our usual ham and cheese on half baguette and then came back. In all we did about 53 kms over 4 hours, which is a snails pace, but we did stop a lot. Took the train back to Bordeaux. On the way back to the hotel we stopped at the lovely river front area and saw the Bourses de Vin where wine used to be traded.
This blog is an outlet to post details of my travels around the world. As well as an occasional miscellaneous topic.
